§ MR. ALDEN (Middlesex, Tottenham)To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he can state the probable cost of establishing the proposed Court of Criminal Appeal; and whether any estimate of the number of cases likely to come before that Court has been made.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Gladstone.) No trustworthy estimate can be made of the number of cases that is likely to come before the proposed Court of Criminal Appeal, and consequently it is impossible to calculate the probable cost of the new Court.
